BTW, Ajoran, your hotbar isn't quite up to date: the heroism from before is still in there, and your AC should currently (without debuffs like frightened) be 37.

Hero Points have reset
(Since you posted before I posted this, Janna, I'll allow you to reroll that imaginary weapon using last month's Hero Point that you still had.)
| Ajoran Livara |
Sorry for the slow posting. A weekend full of work, cramming for a college exam, and major home reorganizing ia running me dry.
Spring break starts on Wednesday and it should clear up a bit. Feel free to bot me when needed.

Duh, sure strike. Had no reading comprehension there XD

So now my 2024-2025 bingo card consists of "graduated," "got my first full-time job," "met the love of my life," "got engaged," "bought a house," "got married," and finally "got fired a week after my wedding."
Ugh.
And now I FINALLY found a new job!
| Huang Yujin |
Congrats!
| Janna Ravanos |
Huzzah!
| Suryo Lestari |
Will Suryo finally land a kill with slay on a doomed 2 foe?
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |
Oh jeez! I SWEAR I posted here that I had a convention this past weekend, but I guess I didn’t.
Also, today has been pure insanity for me. I’m sorry, I do not have the energy to get a post in.
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |
I’m gonna be honest with yall: things have been rough. My mental health took a nosedive because I ran out of unemployment benefits and the job offer I had might very well get rescinded when I was slated to start on Monday. I’m currently just…sitting on the couch trying my damnedest not to rot away in my depression. I’m sorry that I’ve been…nonexistent because of this.
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |
If Ajoran is able to use his Implement's Interruption, he would like to use the Esoteric Reflexes version. This will allow him to counter the enemy's blood vendetta with his own casting of the same spell using his other reaction.
FYI, this entire time I've been using the Esoteric Reflexes spoiler FIRST for if you use Implement's Interruption for exactly this reason. I use up the more restrictive reaction first.
But also, uh...blood vendetta doesn't have the concentrate OR manipulate trait, so it doesn't actually trigger Implement's Interruption.
| Huang Yujin |
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Take your time and do what you need to do.
| Ajoran Livara |
Sorry to hear about what's happening. I kinda know how you're feeling, dealing with my parents' estate and the debt that came with it. School + Work + other major life changes are had me in a spot for a while.
We appreciate the game you're running for us. Take as much time as you need, and if you need time off we'd understand that too.
But also, uh...blood vendetta doesn't have the concentrate OR manipulate trait, so it doesn't actually trigger Implement's Interruption.
Yeah, in my minds eye I was picturing the Reaction Cascade starting with some other provoking action, such as movement or another kind of spell. I hit them, they vendetta me, I vendetta their vendetta.
| Suryo Lestari |

No apology needed. That's a lot to deal with.
| Janna Ravanos |
...We appreciate the game you're running for us. Take as much time as you need, and if you need time off we'd understand that too. ...
My thoughts exactly. Games are for having fun, if they need to go on the back burner for a bit, no problem.

Hero Points reset in a week
I also don't know if I'll get a post in today.
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |

Sure, but I just recall that the last time this group did that, I realized that y’all didn’t actually have a big enough spacious pouch. Plus we’re nearing the end of the adventure anyways, so I just didn’t wanna deal with it.
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |
BTW, Ajoran, your hotbar isn't quite up to date: the heroism from before is still in there, and your AC should currently (without debuffs like frightened) be 37.
Bump (about the AC).
Also, Ajoran, did you actually HAVE roaring applause prepared? I just noticed it wasn't anywhere in your character sheet. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if you did, I just wanted to check in about it.

Hero Points have reset
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get a post in today; my laptop is on the fritz and the Enter and Backspace keys are not working consistently (which is, y’know, a problem), so I’ll probably have to take it into a repair shop.
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |
So! It was actually that my laptop was basically FUBAR and I needed to get a completely new one. Yay.
| Ajoran Livara |

Ahh, sorry about that. The character sheet's prepared spells are more of a static baseline, or default to rubber band back to in case I don't know what to prepare. The Resources Remaining spoiler is where I keep track of my current spells, both prepared and cast, as well as my esoteric scrolls.
And sorry about the laptop. Hope you can get that sorted with minimal fuss.
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |
Oh, depends on what you mean by "fuss."
Actually getting all my files to the new computer? Easy.
Getting all of the Microsoft-mandated bloatware AND getting my right-Ctrl-key back? UTTER nightmare!
(For those who don't know, apparently laptops made within the past 5 years that run Windows have a Copilot button instead of the right Ctrl key, and it was VERY SPECIFICALLY programmed to make it hard-as-hell to turn back into a right-Ctrl-key)

Oh, don't worry! Putting the big man in time out gives us time to deal with the others, and is the optimal play. Ajoran is more pleasantly surprised, since he doesn't have to deal with two robots AND a dragon while Gorrum's champion is kicking his teeth in.
A couple Exploit actions are very much worth that convenience.
| Huang Yujin |
So. Uh. Huh. This is a first for my books. Didn’t expect that to…actually happen. I’ve already set the precedent regarding Hero Points and unconventional death, so…Yujin proceeds to spend all of her Hero Points to stave off death and not get beheaded by Ordulf’s vorpal sword. I’m still gonna say that that made you at 0 HP (but stable), because…you failed a save against a vorpal sword!
My head! It's all good. That's how it goes sometimes.

Posting turn momentarily.
That was in the previous combat. Then several 10-minute bursts of Treat Wounds checks happened.

Power outage has the PC out of comission and a busy work + school day means I won't be able to phone post until the evening. Hopefully things will be up and running when I get home.
| Suryo Lestari |
Here's hoping for a better tomorrow.
| Ajoran Livara |
Massive homework assignment is pounding me like the last anvil in town. Posting is gonna be spotty for a few days.
Hoping the best for you, Xavier.
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |
Hey, Ajoran. Not at all the most important thing, but I was just doing some napkin math, and you actually have your max HP wrong. It should 231 before the drained (10 from ancestry + 8*17 from class + 4*17 from Con + 1*17 from Toughness)
| GM Xavier Kahlvet |
Heads-up: I might not be able to get a post in tomorrow (4/21) because of a family emergency where we will basically be spending all day de-cluttering our spare bedroom so it can actually be, yknow, a spare bedroom.

...yeah that adds up. I may have missed something in one of my level-ups. I'm gonna fix him up now. Thanks!
